why is the support for ARM diabollically bad

As a student being forced to learn the LPC21xx microcontrollers as part of my degree, I have found getting information and help extremely poor.

Everything points you in the direction of the data sheet/ user manual, but the reason Im looking for help else where is because Im not getting what I need from the manual. How backwards is that!

Also when you post a thread on this site no one gets back to you. Does anyone actually run the site? and does anyone actually reply to technical questions that actually may help others at a later time? I think not. I think Ive got a better chance of recieving a reply from this rant!

I think ARM and Keil should be ashamed and take a leaf out of Microchips book, as the help avaialable for the many devices they supply is vast!

    1. I am not a native English speaker.
    2. I am NOT one of the experienced and clever people contributing to this forum.
    3. Sometimes, I will try to provide some information to this forum; but those information may not be correct or useful. I just think that "better than nothing".

    Recently, one developer decided to use LPC2148, and were trying to get some help from this forum.
    See this link:
    http://www.keil.com/forum/21578/

    I have some experience in LPC213x/LPC23xx/LPC1768; and very limited experience in bootloader.
    I tried to provide some information to Urvish Gohil, the OP of the thread of 21578.

    However, most information I provided were based on incorrect assumptions; most links I provided were irrelative. Urvish Gohil solved his problem (I hope so.) mainly by himself.

    As christian crosa already pointed out.

    I think that this forum is very good to find some answers, provided that:

    Issues are correctly explained by OP
    OP did try to solve the issue himself before and he is trying to find a solution for a struggle during the implementation.
    Question asked are punctual and not too over general.

    I don't have any experience in the ADC of LPC21xx, and I am busy recently.
